Op-Derm-Farblos (Isopropyl Alcohol, 1-Propanol)

Op-Derm-Farblos is an antiseptic that acts on a broad range of microorganisms on the skin surface.

• Skin preparation before invasive procedures: Reduces microbial load to lower infection risk.
• Disinfection of minor cuts and abrasions: Cleanses wounds by removing debris and bacteria.
• Hand hygiene for healthcare workers: Provides rapid antimicrobial action for staff protection.

• Isopropyl alcohol exerts its antiseptic effect by denaturing proteins and disrupting lipid membranes of microorganisms, leading to cell lysis and death. The rapid evaporation enhances surface contact, delivering swift antimicrobial activity across bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Adverse reactions are generally limited to local irritation, though systemic absorption is minimal.

Common Side Effects

• Skin irritation: Mild redness of the skin.
• Dryness: Slight dry skin or scaling after use.

Serious or Rare Side Effects
